Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Are Getting Back Together … on Sunday at Least

Bieber and Gomez are set to sit together at the Billboard Music Awards (omg! Insider)
Here is more proof Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez could be dating again.
"omg! Insider" correspondent Christina McLarty got a first hand look at the seating chart for Sunday's Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas and, as of now, it looks like Gomez and Bieber are going to be right next to each other! In the photo taken by McLarty above, you can see the "Come & Get It" singer's pretty face sitting next to her beau. At these type of events it is easy to request a seat far away from an ex you have bad blood with — just ask Taylor Swift.
Gomez, 20, and Bieber, 19, have been spotted together multiple times this week upon the "Boyfriend" singer's return to Los Angeles. On Tuesday morning, the "Spring Breakers" actress was photographed leaving Bieber's Calabasas home. Then later Tuesday night, E! News spotted the on-again, off-again couple holding hands while partying together at Supperclub in Hollywood.
Guess Gomez isn't as single and "available in every way" as she claimed earlier this week!
Still, actions speak louder than words, so hopefully we will get a clue as to what exactly is going on between Bieber and Gomez at the Billboard Music Awards this weekend. After all, this is the same awards show where the young duo shared one of their more infamous and public kisses at!

And the Season 12 ‘American Idol’ Winner is…

Candice wins! [photo: Matt Sayles/Invision/AP]The third time was the charm for Candice Glover on "American Idol." After trying out for the show twice before (and getting cut in Season 9's Hollywood Week and Season 11's Vegas Week), the 23-year-old South Carolina soulstress was crowned the new "Idol" champion this Thursday, on Season 12's finale.

"Three years!" was all a flustered, weeping Candice could say when Ryan Seacrest asked her for her reaction.
Candice joyously sobbed, surrounded by her fellow Season 12 contestants on the stage of Los Angeles's Nokia Theater, as she belted out her coronation song, an empowerment anthem titled "I Am Beautiful." I'm still not feeling the song myself, but it was a beautiful moment nonetheless. Candice deserved this victory. She worked hard for it.
photo: Ray Mickshaw/FoxCandice was arguably the best female vocalist of this entire season, the one with the most standout performances overall. A Season 12 highlight reel would practically be just a Candice Glover reel. It's almost unfathomable that she didn't make it to the live rounds in Season 9, considering what a weak overall season that was; when she was cut in Season 11 after receiving substantially more screentime, avid "Idol" fans were understandably outraged.
Thankfully, once "Idol" producers wisely put Candice through to this season's live shows, those fans finally had a chance to vote her through — all the way to the winner's circle.
Candice is the first female "Idol" champion since Season 6, but we all knew a woman was going to win this year, since the last male contestant standing, Lazaro Arbos, was eliminated more than a month ago, leaving the show with an all-female top five. This week's finale, in which Texan country crooner Kree Harrison placed second, was the first girl-vs.-girl "Idol" finale since Season 3. Perhaps the bigger news here is that Candice is the first R&B singer, male or female, to win the show since Fantasia Barrino triumphed that season…nine long years ago.
Angie Miller & Adam Lambert [photo: Fox]"Idol" Season 12 finale highlights included Angie Miller's back-to-back duets with Season 8 superstar Adam Lambert and Brit sensation Jessie J (followed by Jessie's personal invitation to fly Angie out to play with her in the U.K.); a Candice Glover/Jennifer Hudson duet that blew minds, and speakers, with its sheer diva-on-diva force; a truly lovely Emeli Sande/Amber Holcomb duet of "Next to Me"; and Keith Urban, Randy Jackson, Blink 182's Travis Barker, and Kree Harrison jamming on "Where the Blacktop Ends."
There were also three surprisingly funny skits: a tribute to exiting judge Randy "The Dawg" Jackson starring actual dogs; the top 10 contestants modeling Nicki Minaj-inspired wigs (and posterior prosthetics); and a conspiracy-theory-laden video about how the top 10's boys were sabotaged…by Jordin Sparks!
Lowlights included a Mariah Carey hits medley that seemed more poorly lip-synched than a rejected "RuPaul's Drag Race" audition; a performance by PSY that should have been on a finale taking place in 2012, not 2013; a remote-satellite performance between the top five girls and a video-screened Aretha Franklin that just did not work; and a cheesy, shackled, hairography-overloaded performance by ex-judge Jennifer Lopez that made Mariah's lip-synching look credible.
The top five girls & the satellite Aretha [photo: Fox]But anyway, congratulations to Candice for a hard-earned and much-deserved victory! Now...can we get this girl a better coronation song?

Kim Kardashian Plans Baby Shower While Kanye Deals With Gay Rumors



Kim Kardashian plans baby shower, Kanye West still away
Kim Kardashian has been busy planning her baby shower while baby daddy Kanye West is busy sparking break up rumors because of his absence Kim’s life and battling gay rumors. Meanwhile, he did attempt to serenade Kim K during a performance for the Adult Swim upfront party on Wednesday.
Kim and Kanye are a tough couple to figure out. At one minute it seems like they are certainly headed for splitsville and the next they are madly in love again.
The only problem here is that Kimye are having way more “trouble in paradise” type of moments than they are “Awww how cute are they” moments.
The latest drama between these two is still dealing with Yeezy’s busy schedule. Sources claim that Kimmy is furious that Kanye will be touring shortly after the baby is born and won’t be able to spend time just being a father.
Kim Kardashian follows Kanye West on tour
“Needless to say, Kim is unhappy that Kanye won’t be around as much because of his work,” the source told RadarOnline.com. “Even if she flew out on a private jet with the baby to see Kanye, it would be impossible for mother and baby to be on the road with him.”
The source also explained that Kim wants to breast feed her child and keep the baby on a tight schedule, but that schedule probably won’t work if they are busy crossing timelines.
If you’re thinking the family can reunite at the end of Kanye’s tour things aren’t quite that simple. The famous reality star has to make money too so she will be returning to the world of reality TV in the winter to start filming the new season of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”
Kim Kardashian kanye West to go on tour together
“Kim just feels like she can’t win,” the source added. “She feels that both their work schedules are going to prevent them from spending quality time together after the baby is born.”
Mr. West taking off so soon after the baby will be born just adds a little more reinforcement to Wendy Williams’s prediction that Kimye will break up shortly after Kim gives birth.
As if that wasn’t enough, the rumor mill has announced that Kanye West may not be at Kim’s side because he is deep in the closet.
Sources claim that Kimmy freaked out when she heard the gay rumors, especially after she heard Kanye’s gay lover is supposedly a friend of hers.
Kim Kardashian scared by kanye west gay rumors
Well, Kim, if it makes you feel any better we are 99% sure that Yeezy is not gay.
Despite the leather pants in the summer time, there are no real indications that Kanye has a secret and it seems like the media is just trying to find another way to irritate the already paparazzi-hating rapper.
The only reason the gay rumors sparked is because Kanye spends “a lot of time” with the man according to trash talkers. Well I spent a lot of time with many of my female friends as well but I can assure that none of us are shacking up together.
In the midst of all the gay rumors and his absence in Kim’s life, Kanye did his best to make it up to Kimmy by singing to her during his performance for the Adult Swim upfronts in New York City.

On his new song “Awesome” Kanye raps, “I’d rather do nothing with you than something new with somebody new.”
During the performance the pregnant reality star took to Twitter where she exclaimed, “My baby killin it tonight!!!”
Of course, Kanye isn’t the only one who has been busy. Kim K has been working to arrange her baby shower in June and made sure she sent out some lavish invitations.
Instead of just sending a simple card in the mail, the middle Kardashian sister sent the invitations out in special music boxes that played an adorable tune when opened as a whimsical ballerina figure twirls around.
Apparently, this isn’t just the work of Kimmy. Her sisters are reportedly the masterminds behind all the baby shower planning and rumor has it they are going to throw together a “humungous” shindig.

What Kim has been planning, however, is a way to spend some time with her man whether he likes it or not.
TMZ reported that the curvy starlet is ready to buckle down and go on tour with Kanye after giving birth.
Despite the fact that joining Mr. West on the road isn’t recommended by any of her friends, family, followers, fans, doctors, neighbors, photographers, or anyone else in her life she refuses to just sit back and watch while Kanye abandons her with the baby.
Sources told the popular site that the tour bus company has already been ordered to prepare for cribs and soundproof hotel rooms at every stop they make.
We’re pretty sure Yeezy isn’t too excited about having his baby mama on board for the ride, but hey a mother’s gotta do what a mother’s gotta do.

Ouch! Check Out Kim Kardashian’s Swollen Feet!


Kim Kardashian (Splash News)Ouch! No one needs to walk a mile in Kim Kardashian's shoes to know that looks painful.
The seven-months pregnant reality star was photographed in Los Angeles on Thursday showing off super swollen feet.
Kardashian, 32, squeezed her feet into some clear stilettos and we're having sympathy pain just looking at these pics of the ankle straps cutting into her flesh!
Kanye West's girlfriend has not been shy on Twitter in sharing her discomfort when it comes to this particular pregnancy problem:
On June 2, Kardashian will be having her baby shower in L.A. and invitations went out this week to a select group of pals. According to E! News, the lavish invites were in music boxes that, when opened, played a special tune as a wind-up ballerina twirled.
That's one way to ask for a charity donation, right?

Scott Foley’s Wife on ‘Scandal’ Sex Scenes: ‘Bring Some of That Home!’

Scott Foley, Kerry Washington, Tony Goldwyn (Getty Images)
"Scandal" is one of the sexiest (and best) shows on TV, but you may forget that two of the main hunks who fool around on the small screen with Kerry Washington's character, Olivia Pope, are married in real life.
Tony Goldwyn, who plays Fitz (who's also the President of the United States) in ABC's hit show, joked this week that the sex scenes are "a problem" for his wife.
"The honest answer is, my wife doesn't watch it," Goldwyn said on "Watch What Happens Live." "She watched the pilot and thought it was great, but yeah ... I don't encourage it."
At Thursday night's "Scandal" presentation at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, Scott Foley -- who plays Jake Ballard -- joked to reporters that his wife doesn't share the same sentiment.
"I don't know what's wrong with her, she watches it," Foley laughed. "I wish I could say she was more like Tony's wife -- I wish I could say I was more like Tony!"
"No, we actually watched the first time Olivia and Jake had a sex scene -- we all got together on the weekend and watched the episode," Foley said. "Kerry was there, I was there, the whole cast was there and I brought my wife. There was sort of a hush after that scene and no one knew what to do. My wife said, 'Why don't you bring some of that home!'"
Foley has been married to Marika Dominczyk for nearly six years. And it's nice to see they haven't lost their sense of humor!
Goldwyn clarified to omg! he was mostly kidding about his "Watch What Happens Live" comments.
"Literally because we're both in the business, she's so thrilled and supportive," Goldwyn said. "I was really just joking. It's all good, we laugh about it. I mean, who wouldn't want their partner to watch them have sex with someone else?"
The one thing that caused a problem for our favorite small screen fictional President on the home front: making it into People's Sexiest Man Alive issue.
"I got so much grief," he told omg!. "My kids made so much fun of me. My daughter's only comment was, 'Ew.'"

Candice Glover Crowned The American Idol Winner While Show Tanks



Candice Glover the American Idol Winner
Candice Glover brought a set of powerhouse vocals to “American Idol” that hadn’t been seen on the show since Jennifer Hudson took the show by storm in 2004 so it was no wonder the producers brought J. Hud back to perform an outstanding duet with Candice.
That’s right everyone. Candice Glover managed to snag the “American Idol” crown making her the first female winner of the show since Jordin Sparks took the title in 2007.
It was certainly no easy road for Glover, however, as this was her third time trying out for America’s most popular singing competition.
“I always knew for some reason that it would happen if I kept going,” she said backstage on Thursday after she won.
She had previously tried out for season nine and season eleven with no luck, but she never forgot how those years impacted her. As she was announced America’s new singing sensation she screaming “three years” and struggled her way to perform her coronation song while simultaneously trying to fight back tears.
Later the soulful songstress admitted she didn’t even remember Ryan saying her name but she did remember the confetti cannons spraying colorful pieces of paper in her mouth while she was singing.
The only thing more special about her night than winning was getting the chance to take the stage with Jennifer Hudson herself.
“I look up to her and, honestly, she is so successful after this show, and I really admire her,” Glover said of the former “American Idol” contestant. “I finally got a chance to not only meet her but sing with her.”
Candice Glover Jennifer Hudson duet on American Idol
Together, Jennifer and Candice belted their way through a spectacular performance of Natalie Cole’s “Inseparable.”
In addition to the powerful duet, the finale episode will jam packed with special moments including the simple fact that two curvy women were standing at the top of the “American Idol” food chain.
Several other potential American Idols were criticized for their size by America and the judges themselves in previous seasons – including J. Hud.
Well this season both ladies proved that being “marketable” doesn’t mean you have to be a size two. While neither of the women were in no means over weight or fat, they managed to trample all over the super skinny pop star image that usually reigns supreme in the industry.
Full figured American Idol finalists
Other super stars took the stage as well throughout the two house season finale although we aren’t convinced they were all great choices.
It was a pleasure to see Emeli Sande, Jessie J, Aretha Franklin, “American Idol” judge Keith Urban, and former “American Idol” judge Jennifer Lopez take the stage but then the producers had to ruin it all with another gimmick filled performance by Psy.
Emeli Sande sings with American Idol finalists
By the way, if we are not going to let go of Rick Ross’s date rape lyrics and Lil Wayne’s awful Emmett Till metaphor I’m not understanding why the world was able to forgive Psy for saying he wanted to “Kill those Yankees [Americans] who have been torturing Iraqi captives, Kill those Yankees who ordered them to torture/ Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law, and fathers/ Kil them slowly and painfully.”
Anyway, “American Idol” judge Mariah Carey also took to the stage and realized that if Beyonce can’t get away with lip syncing neither can she.
As soon as Carey opened her mouth Twitter was flooded with the hashtag #lipsync as users flooded the site with criticisms about her poor performance.
Mariah Carey lip sync American Idol finale 2013
While her dress was stunning and her giant wind machine made her look fabulous, she certainly didn’t spend enough time rehearsing the ending of each line. There were several times throughout the performance that Carey already closed her mouth but her voice miraculously still carried out the note.
But at the end of the night there was one thing that was missing from the show that made it uncomfortably obvious just how bad “American Idol” must be doing in the ratings – the total number of voter announcement.
It is “American Idol” tradition to announce how many votes were cast for the finale winner, but this year they decided to skip out on that little detail amidst reports that the show is quickly tanking.
American Idol tanking among the competition
While their judge’s panel was filled with drama this season, everyone seemed to retreat to “The Voice” to get a glimpse of a happier set of judge’s who playfully made fun of each other and just had a good time doing what they loved to do. Even when rumors sparked that there was some tension between Usher and Adam Levine, you never once saw the drama spark in front of cameras and both men still exchanged compliments throughout the show.
At the end of the day, after the reality show “Duck Dynasty” was able to ruin the show’s consistent number one in the ratings record it seemed like this would (or should) be the last season of the singing competition legacy.

Beyonce Shows No Sign of Baby Bump in Return to Stage

While Kelly Rowland is revealing to the world she was once jealous of Beyonce’s success, Bey was taking time to write a letter to her fans after she had to cancel her Tuesday night concert in Belgium.
“To my dearest fans in Antwerp,” the letter reads. “I’ve never postponed a show in my life. It was very hard for me. I promise I will make it up very soon.”
She also apologized for disappointing her fans before thanking them for showing so much concern about her condition.
While her doctor ordered her to take another night off, Blue Ivy’s mom refused to disappoint her fans two nights in a row and took the stage for a stellar performance anyway.
“Now, my doctors told me not to perform tonight, but there was no way in the world,” Beyonce said as she hit the stage. “I just have to say that you all give me so much inspiration and I just want to thank you guys.”
Beyonce apologizes for canceled concert, returns to stage
The concert cancellation came shortly after rumors sparked that Beyonce had another bun in the oven and certainly didn’t do much to help control the rumors.
For the record, her ensemble for the concert on Wednesday was revealing enough to suggest that there was no baby bump there (or that if there was a baby bump it is still incredibly small).
For now, however, the loose material of the ensemble and the cinch in at the waist is still enough to keep Baddie Bey on around the clock baby bump watch.

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West On Their Way to Splitsville?



Kim Kardashian going to be a single mother
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have already sparked predictions that Kimmy will be a single mom while Kanye is still furious over the excessive media attention he’s received since getting together with the reality star.
You would think anyone who hates the paparazzi would make sure they stayed far away from Kim Kardashian, but Mr. West decides to get the reality star pregnant and expect the paparazzi to leave him alone? Really Kanye?
Mr. West has been complaining about the excessive media attention for quite some time now and this time he took his bitter rant to the stage in New York for one of his latest concerts.
During the rant he calls himself a “terrible, terrible, terrible celebrity” and slams the paparazzi for distracting him from making “real” music.
This is by no means a music review, but Ye’s “real” music days stopped a while ago.
He went from spitting heart felt rhymes such as “Family Business” and “Roses” to giving predictable (and somewhat mediocre) verses in songs such as “Clique.”
We’re not really sure how he is saying the photogs are responsible for that, but we aren’t buying it.
Anyway, he complained at the paparazzi for over three minutes and claimed that he refuses to mock his relationship with them when he appears on “SNL” this weekend.
Kim Kardashian Kanye West still don't agree on privacy
Apparently he doesn’t see anything funny about his camera bashing antics and sensitive ego – despite the fact that the rest of us do find some bits of comedic gold in there.
One thing he didn’t mention during the lengthy rant was his baby mamma Kim Kardashian, but outspoken talk show host Wendy Williams covered for his slack.
Wendy had a lot to say about Kanye’s boo and publicly predicted that the famous Kardashian would be a single mother shortly after giving birth.
Wendy sat down with Andy Cohen on an episode of “Watch What Happens Live” and said the one thing that nobody else seemed to want to say.
Wendy Williams predicts Kim Kardashian will be a single mom
“She and Kanye will not make it and what kind of mom will she be? A single mom,” she said.
In her usual Wendy fashion she even took things up a notch with a playful exaggeration of just how fast the break up will happen.
“[They will split] 30 seconds after the baby is born,” she added.
She even explained that she believes the mother of the Kardashian clan already has a scheme in place, and if that is true that means Yeezy is going to walk away with a lot less money than he came into the relationship with – and we’re not just talking about his decrease in record sales ever since he became attached to the Kardashian brand.
Kris Jenner has a plot for Kim Kardashian kanye west break up
“I think Kanye’s about sick of all of it and he might think he has invested too much into this family and he is not going to win,” she explained.
As for the drama that happened earlier this year with Kanye wanting to pull Kimmy out from Kris Jenner’s wings, the famous radio personality explained that that was a failed mission from the very start.
“You are not going to pull a Kardashian away from Kardashians,” she said. “They just don’t really understand what it is like to give up for other people.”
Ouch. Tell them how you really feel Wendy.
Of course, this isn’t the first time that there was some concerning speculation around Kimye’s relationship.
With their opposing views on how much attention they should receive from the media and spending most of their time apart despite the fact that Kim is pregnant and could use some support, it does indeed seem like there is trouble in paradise.
Kim Kardashian predicted to be a single mom by Wendy Williams
Kanye has been confessing his love for Kim since 2009 (and some speculate that he released verses about her even earlier than that), but it seems like the girl of his dreams might not exactly be all he cracked up her to be.
Either way, we don’t have much longer to wait to see if Williams’s prediction comes true. Baby Kimye is due sometime in July which means Kim and Kanye could be pulling around the corner into splitsville at any moment.

Kelly Rowland Jealous: Airs ‘Dirty Laundry’ About Beyonce, Abusive Relationship


Kelly rowland jealous of beyonce
Kelly Rowland revealed she was jealous of Beyonce in her new record “Dirty Laundry” which has earned her the love and respect of many on Twitter. Meanwhile, Beyonce has already returned to the stage after she was forced to cancel her first concert in her entire musical career.
Kelly Rowland has always been living in Beyonce’s shadow ever since their days in Destiny’s Child and just recently has seen major success in her own solo career.
While fans of both Kelly and Queen Bey’s felt like Kelly should very well be jealous of the R&B diva, Rowland only had genuinely kind things to say about Mrs. Carter.
Well that has finally changed. While Kelly still admits that she loves Beyonce like a sister, her new song “Dirty Laundry” reveals that she did go through a depressing stage in her life where she was incredibly jealous of Bey’s solo career.
“When my sister was on stage killin it like a mother f***er/ I was enraged, feelin’ it like a mother f***er/ Bird in a cage/ You would never know what I was dealin’ with/ Went our separate ways but I was happy she was killin’ it,” she sings in the very first verse of the song.
Kelly Rowland airs dirty laundry about beyonce abusive relationship
Other lyrics describe Beyonce’s success as being “bittersweet” for Rowland who was happy for her sister but upset that her own career hadn’t taken off the same way.
Her true feelings about the leader of Destiny’s Child weren’t the only emotional confession on the track either.
“Meanwhile this ni**a putting his hands on me… I swear y’all don’t know the half of this industry,” she sings as she admits to being involved in an abusive relationship.
While she never gave the abusive man a name she points out that he certainly had something to do with her bitter feelings towards her Destiny’s Child sister.
“He pulled me out and said, ‘Don’t nobody love you but me/ Not your mama / Not your daddy / and especially not Bey,’” the emotion packed verse continues.
Kelly Rowland Beyonce envy
The song created a huge spark on Twitter with many users applauding Kelly for being a “real woman.”
“I have so much respect for kelly after hearin dirty laundry so #real,” one user wrote.
“I culdn put tht out 4 the world to hear,” another user tweeted. “Kelly Rowland is a real woman for tht.”
Others were furious that any man would even put his hands on the beautiful songstress.
“U put ya hands on kelly rowland tho!? Ur a dead man walkin,” one Kelly Rowland fan page tweeted.
“Wat kind of man can put his hands on a #beautiful #chocolate woman like Kelly Rowland,” another fan wrote in disgust.
Many of the other tweets about the song celebrated the fact that Rowland is back on her game now and appears to be a happy woman – and there are a good number of threats about the man in the song as well.

Nicki Minaj Leaving American Idol After One Season?

All American Idol judges fired, Nicki Minaj says they are a familyIs Nicki Minaj leaving American Idol – making her the second judge to exit the popular talent show?
While rumors have been swirling for a couple of weeks now that all four of the current judges — Minaj, Jackson, Mariah Carey and Keith Urban — would be out before Season 13 began, so far only Randy Jackson has announced that he is definitely leaving. Now, however, Us Weekly reports that Minaj is planning to follow him out the door.
“It’s safe to say she isn’t coming back to ‘Idol’,” an unnamed source at “Idol” told Us Weekly. “She’s okay with it. She had a great time but was only going to do one season anyway.”
Minaj’s time on “American Idol” has been marked by controversy. Even before the season began, rumors of her feud with Carey surfaced. Viewers got to see a bit of that feud in footage released from the early auditions.
Throughout the live-show broadcasts, the two women have mostly kept things quiet, but everyone has noticed a fair amount of tension. “They don’t talk too much to each other,” “Idol” finalist Kree Harrison told reporters when asked about Nicki and Mariah’s occasional jabs at the judges’ table. “Whenever they do, I just think that’s awesome — whether it’s good or bad.”
There is no official word yet on whether either Carey or Urban intends to return for Season 13. Mariah Carey will soon be heading out on a world tour, which could conflict with any future judging plans. Urban, on the other hand, sounds enthusiastic about a possible return to “Idol.” When asked at the show’s finale performances about whether would want to keep the gig, Urban replied. “I would, yeah. I mean, I literally enjoy coming to work every day, and that’s a rarity.”
It remains to be seen whether or not the “American Idol” producers will let that happen.

Jada Pinkett Smith Dodges Open Marriage Rumors, Talks Angela Davis


Jada Pinkett Smith slams open relationship rumors again
Jada Pinkett Smith was finally able to talk about something other than her open marriage rumors and opened up about what she learned from the Angela Davis documentary, “Free Angela Davis and Other Political Prisoners.”
Jada Pinkett is quite the busy woman. In addition to being a full time mother, actress, singer-songwriter, and an all around entrepreneur, Smith is also balancing her movie making career.
She and hubby Will started Overbrook Entertainment and now the Hollywood couple is using their new business to give light to some serious issues.
The Angela Davis documentary marked the 40th anniversary of Davis’s acquittal after she appeared on the FBI’s Most Wanted List.
Being a member of the Communist Party caused her to lose her job as a teacher and be charged with murder and kidnapping back in the 1970s.
The mother of two admitted that she knew a lot about the case, but watching the documentary just opened up her eyes even more to her story.
 Jada Pinkett Smith talks about Angela Davis documentary
“I watched it and I thought I knew the Angela Davis story, and I even thought that I knew a lot about that era, and I didn’t,” the “Hawthorne” actress said. “And I was just amazed that I didn’t know more, that it was my right to have a thorough understanding of such a pivotal figure like Angela Davis and what that era was.”
Davis, who joined Smith for the interview, looked delighted as she listened on.
The Madagascar voice actress went on to explain that the film allowed her to see a side of Angela Davis that she would have never known about otherwise.
“I knew that she was a pitotal part of the movement and I knew that she was powerful and I knew that she was intelligent, but what I didn’t receive was the beauty of her feminine side, you know, and her softness, and the strength in her vulnerable nature,” Jada explained. “I’ve learned a lot just simply being in her presence in that way, knowing that even in my own experiences, to be able to obtain a perspective that allows me to allow my experiences to deepen me and broaden me and make me more and not decrease me. So I would say that has been a gift.”
Jada Pinkett isn't phased by open marriage rumors
The talk of a deeper and more broad version of herself comes as no surprise considering the way she has been using her social media platform lately.
It seems like Jada Pinkett has no problem making her opinions known on social media regardless of how the general public might feel about them.
From defending young celebrities like Justin Bieber and Rihanna to daily food for thought type of posts that she hopes her followers, friends, and fans will reflect upon she is always attempting to throw out some words of wisdom via social media.
Her latest message is for the ladies.
“One of the reasons that I did that is right now one of my very strong very focus at this point is trying to figure out how to engage women to flow power to one another,” she said after she was asked about a status that suggested white women needed to be able to hit the covers of African American magazines. “The idea is that there’s a white woman’s issue. Or there’s a black woman’s issue. There’s a Latina woman’s issue. The idea for women to understand is that if we could come together and flow each other power for issues that affect us all, that we would get a lot done…”
She also revealed that as a community we can’t be afraid to share ideas, no matter how controversial they might be because it is often those touchy subjects that need to be addressed the most.
As for those pesky open marriage rumors (that we personally still believe have a little more validity to them than Jada wants us to believe), Jada says they aren’t much more than “easy obstacles.”
Jada Pinkett Smith opens up about open marriage rumors
“They’re quite easy obstacles. When I really think about what people are going through in the world today, and dealing with people’s speculations is one thing and knowing simply that that’s all that it is,” she said before laughing. “When you’re living your truth and you understand your truth, things get very easy. They get less complicated at least, so I’m very blessed. I am very blessed, so speculations I can deal with.”
These are less of speculations and more of us remembering that famous interview hubby Will Smith gave back in 2008 where he spoke openly and candidly about their open marriage, but if you want to call it speculation Jada please be our guest.

Victoria’s Secret Model Lily Aldridge Defends Pregnant Kim Kardashian’s Weight Gain: ‘She Is Beautiful’

Kim Kardashian (Getty Images)Lily Aldridge (Getty Images)What's sexy, you ask? Look no further than Victoria’s Secret Angels Adriana Lima, Lily Aldridge, and Behati Prinsloo.
The lingerie-clad ladies celebrated the release of the 8th "What Is Sexy?" list on Tuesday in Santa Monica, California. Stars like Beyoncé, Jennifer Lawrence, Rihanna, and Blake Lively all made the cut for various reasons.
However, Lily Aldridge revealed she had one other celebrity she would add to the sexy ranks: Kim Kardashian.
"I think Kim Kardashian looks so beautiful," the 27-year-old model told omg!.
Aldridge, wife of Kings of Leon rocker Caleb Followill, gave birth to a baby girl last June and thinks it is crazy how Kardashian, 32, has been criticized for her weight gain.
"[Kim] is a beautiful pregnant lady and it's how you are supposed to look," Aldridge continued. "I think people are crazy. It's ridiculous what people are saying about her."
It's been almost 11 months since Aldridge gave birth, but you'd never know it by looking at her physique.
"I worked really hard, and I'm proud I worked that hard to get back," she said.
"Of course, I'm human and can feel insecure [about my body]. There are times I'm like, 'Ugh my legs.' But I am pretty confident and I work really hard at staying in shape!"
We know Kardashian works out daily, a routine Aldrige lived by when carrying her daughter.
Lily Aldridge and Kim Kardashian (Splash News)Most recently, Aldridge and a very pregnant Kardashian were pitted against each other in a "Who Wore It Best" scenario after they were both photographed wearing the same Givenchy maxi dress.
"When I was pregnant I did a lot of yoga, about four times a week," Aldridge noted. "That was almost for mental reasons. It was amazing and so fun. I really took care of myself while I was pregnant, I would swim, get massages."
Now, the Victoria's Secret beauty credits ballet with helping her to stay fit.
"It's all about lengthening and strength," Aldridge said.
We think it's great that Aldridge is sticking up for Kim Kardashian. Do you?

Kanye's Lamborghini Aventador (worth a reported $750,000) incredible!


Kanye West is having a tough week. Actually, more like a blunder-filled one.
The 35-year-old made headlines last Friday when he slammed his head into a street sign with baby mama Kim Kardashian (and then got really mad at the paparazzi for causing the clunk), documented in the video now seen 'round the world.
So far, so good ... (Splash News)
Whoops! (Splash News)
Then on Tuesday, the father-to-be's Lamborghini Aventador (worth a reported $750,000) was hit by a closing gate outside his baby mama Kim Kardashian's house in Beverly Hills. But this time West (who owns a whole collection of fancy cars) really can blame someone else: The guy who was behind the wheel of the car – reportedly returning it from a service appointment – took a few seconds too long to drive it through the electric gate after it opened, and it ended up shutting right on the pricey set of wheels. Yikes!

As for the damage, it's unclear how extensive it is, but we're sure Kim and Kanye can just request a few thousand extra when they sell those first baby pics and that should cover it …
The day before, Kim K. apparently ran into a bit of trouble herself on the road, tweeting on Monday: "A paparazzi almost crashed into my car today! I am still shaking! He put me in such danger! When will this legalized stalking stop???!!!???"
Um, maybe when you quit reality TV, stop making red carpet appearances, and start living a more private life? Just a guess!

Angelina Jolie Will Remove Her Ovaries Following Double Mastectomy

Angelina Jolie (Getty Images)Angelina Jolie's brave medical journey is far from over.
The humanitarian and mother of six revealed on Monday night that she recently had a preventive double mastectomy after finding out she carried the BRCA1 gene. Due to this mutated gene, Jolie learned there was an 87% chance that she would get breast cancer and a 50% chance she'd develop ovarian cancer.
Now, People magazine reports that Jolie, 37, will undergo surgery to remove her ovaries. Some doctors recommend patients do this before the age of 40 or when a woman is done having children, though it may trigger early menopause.
Jolie's mother Marcheline Bertrand, with whom the actress was extremely close, passed away at the age of 56 after losing her seven-year battle with ovarian cancer.

"She is doing well," a source tells People about how the Oscar winning actress is coping through this challenging time. Jolie had the double mastectomy in February and reconstructive surgery in April.

However, insiders tell People that life has been "normal" for her and Brad Pitt's children. The couple kept up family traditions such as a Valentine's Day gift exchange and an Easter egg hunt even though Jolie was undergoing treatment.
"Her kids always come first to her," a family insider says in People magazine's cover story.

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West Clash Over Privacy Before Kim’s DuJour Photoshoot





Kim covers DuJuor magazine, reveals concerns about privacy
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are allegedly clashing over just how private they want their relationship and their lives to be – especially with baby Kimye on the way.
Kim and Kanye are the perfect match when you think about how much they both love attention, but they love getting that attention in different ways.
Kanye has always made it well known that he isn’t a fan of the paparazzi prying into his private life (especially when he’s having embarrassing moments, like running into street signs). Kim, on the other hand, loves the paparazzi in some cases and needs them in order to remain successful.
So what happens when Yeezy wants the cameras out of his face and Kim K wants more?
Well apparently the pregnant reality star doesn’t have the answer to that question quite yet.
“We live different lives, but I love being open,” she told Fabulous magazine. “That’s who I’ve always been. That will never change because that is who I am.”
Kim K Kanye clashing over privacy concerns
Kimmy did admit that she values privacy a little more now that she is pregnant but it is still a challenge for her to try to understand and respect her boyfriend’s desire for less paparazzi.
“I’m definitely more of a recluse since I’m pregnant,” the reality star added. “But I haven’t necessarily decided to hold myself back, it’s just preparing myself for respecting the privacy of my child and my boyfriend.”
She even went on to say one thing that has everyone worried about the couple’s relationship.
“It does worry me when I think about it,” she said.
If Kimmy is worrying about their future, we can’t help but join in… then again we joined that boat when they first began dating anyway.
As for the baby on the way, Kim isn’t sure how it will be raising a child in the media spotlight but her sisters give her hope that things will be okay.
“My little sisters have grown up so amazingly, with really good heads on their shoulders,” the pregnant Kardashian gushed about little sisters Kendall and Kylie.
We beg to differ actually, but that’s a topic for another day.
Anyway, relationship woes weren’t the only thing that the Kardashian has been exposing to the world lately.
She may be pregnant, but Kanye’s boo wasn’t going to let that put a stop to her constant photoshoots.
Kim Kardashian kanye West relationship in trouble
Kim took to DuJour Magazine where she snapped the first official pregnancy photos she has released on her own – not the rude, sneaky paparazzi shots that often accuse her of being too fat for a pregnant woman.
We must say she looks absolutely stunning in the black and white shoot where she flaunts her bare pregnant belly for the cameras.
The shoot had a very natural and romantic feel to it rather than the super sexy shots that Kim is more famous for, but we’re loving it.
At one point the soon-to-be mother even posed with some lovable puppies.
During her interview with DuJuour she continued to discuss her new view of privacy and it seems like she is bound to butt heads with her baby’s daddy.
While she admitted that she is continuing to respect the privacy of her family, she doesn’t necessarily believe that she should stop reality TV even when the baby is born.
Well it will surely be interesting to see what daddy Yeezy has to say about that.

Mo’Nique Changes Tune on Open Marriage, Talks Weight Loss



Mo’Nique has been offering up fitness motivation long before the approaching swimsuit season made it the popular thing to do.
For the last year, the comedian and actress has been hitting the gym hard and taking to Twitter to show her followers the results.
Her goal — somewhere between 190 and 200 pounds — is not far from her current weight of 218, Mo’Nique explained in an interview with New York radio station Hot 97 Monday, and she’s relying on old-fashioned exercise to achieve it.
“I tweet every morning my workouts because I want women to see — especially us big women — that you don’t have to let them cut you and suck it out, you don’t have to let them staple you up, you don’t have to let them give you a pill, you don’t have to let them put a band around your organs. If you just put the work in, baby, I promise you, it’ll come off,” Mo’Nique said around the 4-minute mark.
Her weight-loss journey has been three years in the making, beginning somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 pounds, she estimates.
In addition to her weight, Mo’Nique, who’s been relatively quiet since BET network halted her late-night talk show, “The Monique Show,” in July 2011, kept it candid about her open marriage with husband Sidney Hicks and why she experienced a change of heart since she first revealed the status of the relationship in an interview with Barbara Walters in 2010.
“When I did that interview, I didn’t realize the king that I had. I was just being old Mo’Nique … It actually backfired. I thought I was saying to women “you can enjoy your cake and eat it, too.” It backfired … Now that I understand what I have, baby listen, there’s not another man on the face of this earth that can compare to mine. In my humble opinion. That’s just for me … When you really take the energy and pay attention to your relationship … and really take the energy really put your all into that relationship and love him in a way that your mama didn’t teach you how to love a man, don’t neither one of y’all wanna go nowhere … Sisters listen, treat ‘em like a King if you wanna be treated like a Queen — it works.”

Zoe Saldana Weight: Why is it Listed on Allure’s Cover?


zoe saldana weightZoe Saldana weight – why oh why is it on the cover of Allure magazine’s June cover?
Every time we seem to be making progress in the way women are portrayed in magazines, somehow we take a step back.
The latest reminder that we still have a ways to go is that Allure magazine’s latest cover, featuring gorgeous actress Zoe Saldana, describes its cover model as “115 Pounds of Grit and Heartache.”
While that may be true, readers probably didn’t need to know precisely how much “grit and heartache” she possesses.
It’s not clear if or how the number fits into the piece since the full interview with the actress has yet to be released but when omg! inquired about the headline, Saldana’s rep referred omg! to Allure, who in turn said “no comment.”

Whomever is responsible, the decision to showcase Saldana’s digits seems so … unnecessary.
Hilary Levey Friedman, a Harvard sociologist who often writes and speaks about images in the media, calls it “an interesting choice,” particularly because many of today’s women focus on Body Mass Index rather than the numbers on the scale.
The message to women on the Allure cover, she says, is that “you need to be thin and strong. Just one isn’t enough anymore. This only puts more demands on women and can lead to varied types of disordered eating.”
Friedman adds that the headline harks back to another era.
“It used to be common to share numbers like weight and measurements,” she continues. “While it is still common within the modeling industry … more mainstream pop culture has shied away from it. Even the Miss America Pageant stopped listing the weights and measurements of its competitors by the 1990s.”
Not long ago, it seemed possible that readers of women’s glossies would see a change.
